Wayne was a great human being, an old friend, and a cherished business associate.
My deepest condolences to his wife, and children.
I respected Wayne because he was an honest, high integrity, loyal customer for a number of years. Wayne's sense of humor was very dry, and for these attributes I will never forget him.
God grace and blessing to his family. RIP Wayne...my friend!
